[OG68]

I was driving up to Oregon a few months ago and thought I would see if the dealership for my 68 was still standing. It was.
Erickson & James Pontiac, Buick and GMC of Yreka CA, a few miles south of the Oregon state line.
Built in the early 1920s it was originally a Standard Oil gas station with a garage that the locals stored their cars in during the winter. They started selling Buicks and GMC trucks and then Pontiacs. I think the dealership closed sometime between 69-75 still selling Standard Oil gas.

My dad was working in Yreka at the time (Surveyor for California Division of Highways, building I-5 during the late 60s.) He stopped to buy gas there and noticed the 68 GTO. Hid it from my mom for over a month before he brought it home. We lived a few hours south of Yreka in the Redding area.

Neither photos are mine. But the building hasn't changed since this photo was taken in 2009. I'm looking for the frames if anyone in the Pacific NW has one or two.
